UQ shares music with New York University (NYU)

Building on connections established at the 2015 NYU Winter Strings conference, violinist Stefanos Melas came from New York to study a PhD in performance at UQ, after completing his Master of Music degree at NYU.

“I wanted to travel overseas for doctoral studies,” said Stefanos.

“Stephanie Baer at NYU recommended I go to UQ, because studying at a top 100 research university was important to me, and I wanted to stay in that calibre of institution.”

“A PhD in performance is a unique and distinctive program internationally, which was a huge draw.”
